Working on Wellbeing

Career wellbeing

Career wellbeing involves looking forward to daily challenges and working at something that engages your skills, 

interests and leadership abilities. Analysis by Gallup has shown that career wellbeing—liking what you do every day—

has the strongest impact on your overall wellbeing. People with high career wellbeing are more than twice as likely to 

be thriving in their lives overall. Elements of career wellbeing include continuous learning and providing conscientious 

service to others. 

Mind Your Mental Health

March 18 – 24 is National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week® 

Observed during the third full week of March, National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week is meant to inspire 

dialogue about the science of drug use and addiction among Americans, particularly youth. Seventy percent 

of users who try an illegal drug before age 13 develop a substance misuse condition within the next seven 

years, compared to 27% of those who try an illegal drug after age 17.

Efforts to prevent teen substance misuse should start early in life. To help prevent substance misuse:

• Keep your teen busy with meaningful activities, such as sports or other group activities.

• Expect your teen to follow household rules. 

• Keep talking with your teen. Praise your teen for success.
